Close, but not close enough
The most recent European Society of Cardiology (ESC) guidelines recommend primary percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) as the preferred treatment for ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) whenever it is available within 90–120 min of the first medical contact [1]. However, timing of symptom onset appears to be hard to adjudicate precisely, and 'ischaemic time' thereby usually e...
متن کاملStep Size : 1 dB is not Enough !
A radio transceiver normally provides received signal strength (RSS) quantized with 1 dB or higher step size. Currently, we know of no application which has demonstrated a need for sub-dB RSS estimates. In this paper, we demonstrate the need for, and benefits of, greater resolution in RSS for breathing rate monitoring and gesture recognition. Measuring RSS requires orders of magnitude less band...
متن کاملNot significant but important.
Armstrong and colleagues report the result of a large Phase IIb randomized trial evaluating the effectiveness of a preparation of the Bowman Birk Inhibitor compared with an oral placebo in reversing the extent of oral leukoplakia as measured visually by pathology or a battery of intermediate end points. In this editorial, we review the report of this negative clinical trials result to highlight...
متن کاملmean platelet volume is an important predictor of hepatitis c but not hepatitis b liver damage
background: the mean platelet volume (mpv) is the most commonly used measure of platelet size and is a potential marker of platelet reactivity. in this study, we aimed to explore the relationship between hepatic histopathology in viral hepatitis and mpv levels,which are associated with platelet count and activity. materials and methods: we performed a retrospective case-control study of baseli...
متن کاملSclerostin levels in CKD patients: an important, but not definitive, step on the way to clinical use.
Sclerostin, an inhibitor of the Wnt signaling pathway, inhibits bone formation. In a study of vascular biopsies of patients undergoing kidney transplantation, Qureshi et al. demonstrate that circulating sclerostin levels are associated with vascular calcification (VC). This adds to an emerging body of literature implicating sclerostin as a key link between chronic kidney disease-mineral and bon...
